DETONATING TOY.

Application filed` `Tune 14, 1926.v Serial No.y 115,773.

This invention relates to a toy operatable ment so that the base of the cylinder strikes by a percussion cap to shoot a member of squarely. The concussion causes the plungthe toy into the air, which member may then v er to move against the cap and detonate it, descend in a rotating manner, and, in dewhereupon the resulting explosion ldrives the e scribing the invention in detail, reference is plunger 11 out upwardly from the cylinder had to the accompanying' drawing, in which 10 to a considerable distance into the air.

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the toy; As the plunger 11 starts to drop, the wings 50 Fig. 2, a top plan view; f A 13 cause the plunger to rotate and descend Fig. 3, a transverse section throughthe gradually to the ground. The wings 13 cylinder of the toy on the line 3`3 in Fig. being carried by the 'flexible wires 12, may 1; and be set at various angles to give varying rates v F ig. 41, a transverse section through one of of rotation and descent. 55 the wings of the toy on the line 1`4 in The structure here shown is but one par- Fig. 1. ticular embodiment of my invention, and it 1D Like characters of reference indicate like is obvious that it may be varied considerably parts throughout the several views. without departing from the spirit of the iii- A hollow cylindrical body is formed vention, and l, therefore, do not 'desire to G9 preferably of metal with the base end closed be limited to the mechanism as shown, nor and the upper end open to receive therein any more than may bey required by the fols with a free sliding fit, a plunger 11, as inlowing claims.

dicated in 1. I claim:

A plurality of wing wires 12, here shown 1;. In a toy, the combination of a vertical 65 as three in number, are secured to the top of cylinder open at the top and having a flat, the plunger 11, and extend upwardly and Vclosed base, a plunger adapted to be slid- 13 outwardly to receive the wings 13 thereon. ingly received in the cylinder, a plurality Each wing 13 is formed preferably of two of wires liXed to and extending from the sheets of paper le and 15 adhesively held plunger and sheets of paper engaged to- 7o together with the wire 12 centrally disposed gether about said wires to form wings, said therebetween, and to maintain the wing 13 wires being capable of being bent to various is in a hxed relation about the wire 12,y the angles.

upper end of the wire 12 is bent to one side, V2. In a toy, the combination of aA vertical the bent end 16 being concealed between the cylinder open at the top and having a hat, 75 sheets 14 and 15, as indicated in F ig. 1, closed base, a plunger adapted to be slidingf where the sheet- 14 is partially broken away ly entered into the cylinder, a plurality of' to show the wire 12 and its bent end 16. wires fixed to and extending ronr the To operate the toy, the plunger 11 is withplunger, said wires being angularly bent at drawn from the cylinder 10, Aand a paper their upper ends, and sheets of paper encap, of the well known and usual type com- -gaged together about each olil said wires to. monly used in toy pistols, is placed 1n the include said angular bend therebetween, said 4U cylinder 10 and the plunger 1l returned and wires being capable of being bent so as to allowed to rest on the cap. The cylinder 10 project from said plunger at selected angles. with the plunger 11 therein is dropped or In testimony whereotl I athxmy signature. thrown upon some hard surface as a pave- HERMAN FOERSTER.
